Cash For Clunkers Leads To Dealer Scams
In the wake of the recent government sponsored “Cash for Clunkers” program, it has been reported that some car dealerships are improperly attempting to extract additional money from customers who have purchased new cars under this program.
Some examples include dealers claiming that: (i) the Cash for Clunkers paperwork was not approved and therefore the customer needs to pay the unpaid government program payment; (ii) the customers financing was not approved and the customer now needs to return and enter into a more expensive financing arrangement, (iii) the customer must buy post-sale extras or extended service contracts; and (iv) several other improper or coercive requirements being imposed on customers.
If you are a consumer who purchased a new car under the Cash for Clunkers program and are now being contacted by the car dealer seeking additional payments, please contact us to discuss your legal options.
